Penn State Football survived.
The Nittany Lions, in a contest that featured eight lead changes, managed to pull off the last of the night, thanks in part to dominant defense in the fourth quarter and a thrilling game-winning drive led by quarterback Sean Clifford.
Amid a hostile atmosphere, in a game of wild emotional and momentum swings, Penn State Football knocked off the Purdue Boilermakers 35-31, improving to 1-0 on the young season.

Penalties and poor tackling in the 1st half and Brohm REFUSING to call any ones. It's 3rd and 30! Get the clock moving!
Sean Clifford is such a college football quarterback. Not terrible. Not elite. Frustrating for his fan base, but he also has so many moments like that drive.
